Mutt
Mutt is a small but very powerful text-based mail client for Unix operating systems.
The following examples are based on a fictive user account with user name hmuster, first name Hans and last name Muster. Please replace all occurrences in text that you copy with your real email account information. Students must also change
inf.ethz.ch
to student.ethz.ch
.
Setup
If you have not previously set up Mutt then remove~/.muttrc
if it is already there and create a new ~/.muttrc
with the content below. Otherwise just edit your existing ~/.muttrc
and make sure that the following definitions are there:
set imap_user = hmuster set spoolfile = imaps://mail.ethz.ch/INBOX set folder = imaps://mail.ethz.ch/ set smtp_url = "smtp://hmuster@mail.ethz.ch:587" set ssl_starttls = yes set ssl_force_tls = yes set smtp_authenticators = 'gssapi:login' set mail_check = 300 set imap_keepalive = 600 set folder = "{mail.ethz.ch/ssl}" set spoolfile = "{mail.ethz.ch/ssl}inbox" set record = "{mail.ethz.ch/ssl}Sent" set postponed = "{mail.ethz.ch/ssl}Draft" set header_cache = ~/.mutt/headercache set message_cachedir = ~/.mutt/messagecache set from = 'hmuster@inf.ethz.ch' set realname = 'Hans Muster' set hostname = inf.ethz.ch mailboxes =Drafts =Sent unset mbox
